do_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader
do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is not true if the leader is already dead. Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead and use signal->group_exit_code. Trivial test-case: void *tfunc(void *arg) { pause(); return NULL; } int main(void) { pthread_t thr; pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL); pthread_exit(NULL); return 0; } It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but bash can't see this. The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored. This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area. For example, before this patch: $ sleep 100 ^Z [1]+ Stopped sleep 100 $ strace -p `pidof sleep` Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by bash. After this patch, strace happily proceeds: --- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) --- restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...> To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct. Another example. Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED). Now we can ptrace T but not M. This looks at least strange to me. Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the per-process job control stops.
